Tutorial 7

Ok, here's a tutorial for making a simple moving icon.


Start with making a new box:
The GIMP: File: New (Ctrl-N): 100x100
Let's use the first picture:
none

Copy (Ctrl-C) and paste the image (Ctrl-V) then anchor the image.
Layer: Anchor Layer (Ctrl-H)
Were going to be using 6 layers and since we already used the Backround Layer, let's make 5 new layers:
Layer: New Layer: Transparent (repeat)
none

Then let's just take all these pictures and put them in each of those new layers (one each layer). Just copy and paste.
none none none none none
none

Now, if you go to Filters: Animation: Playback and you can see what you did. Push the Play/Stop.
That's how to make animation (as far as I know) with GIMP. Saving your animation and put it to the GIF form. Click Save.
none

A box should appear. It will have different things to "check" off. Just click the Save as Animation.
Another box should appear and it will have more things to check off. You want it to loop forever.
_Delay between where unspecified: 170: miliseconds
Frame disposal where unspecified: Cumulative layers (combined)
none

Then press Ok. There's your animation!
none

Of course you can always do more with it than just those pictures.
Hope that was helpful!

Thank you very much for that very understandable tutorial :) I've tried some others, but with yours it worked perfectly ;)
I have to check out your other tutorials, too. Especially the colouring ones. Once more: Thank you very much :)

you're welcome! :D I'm glad it was useful! animation was very confusing for me at first so when I figured out how it worked I couldn't let it just sit there (:
♥ thank you!
